VPI motor how to wire it

jorsan · 18th December 2011, 12:03 PM

Hi,
Im planning to use the 300 rpm motor kit for VPI scoutmaster TTs in a DIY project. Problem is that I dont know much about motors and found that this one has one capacitor and 4 cables that comes out of it. Can I just wire everything (if yes, how?) and connect it to the wall or I need more hardware to make it work?, thanks in advance

Connect the two blue wires together and attach to AC neutral; wire the cap in parallel across the red and black wires (cap is non-polarized and can be oriented either way) and apply AC hot to the red wire for clockwise rotation or to the black wire for counterclockwise rotation.
